BQ34Z651: Chemistry ID not stored in Data Flash

Part Number: BQ34Z651
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQEVSW

Hi There,

I have a battery system that used a number of different cell chemistries which therefore carry different IDs. 

I am using a bespoke program to manage the different configurations through which I update the data flash arrays of my systems as changes are made etc. I have deduced that the chemistry information is stored more or less in data flash subclasses 80-95 and while I don't understand what those subclasses represent I can see the changes in them between my different chemistry options. However when I re-write the data flash of systems (including this chemistry information) to change a system configuration from one chemistry to another the stored value of the chemistry ID (Manufacturer access 0x0008) is not changed when I do so. 

So my question is, what do I need to do to update the chemistry ID when I update the data flash? It seems to me like I am successfully re-writing the contents of the information stored in the data flash but not the ID itself. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

David

  • Hi David,

    The requirement for changing chem ids is that it has to be done using our tool bqEVSW. After that, you can extract the srec and program on other devices. If you are trying to change the contents of the chem id section of the data flash using your tool, we will not support that.
    thanks
